Recently, I just got moved to a new place. it has been a month since I moved and I left a lot of memories at the place I left, including a relationship I have.Actually me and my boyfriend actually didnt broke up we just decided on having this distant relationship and we are working on it. Its hard at this time coz we communicate lesser and we prioritize more on looking for stable jobs.I dont know if this relationship will last and I fear if it would be too soon.. :(

Well, I do have that days also. We live separately to my mom, but everything we visit her or she visits us for days, there is surely an argument. Ever since, i became a mother as well, we became more different to house rules, money management and even child discipline. or even small principle.I dont know why butwe grew so different even though she was the one who built and shaped me as a person. I dont know if she changed or what, coz as I remember and as my sister told me, I'm just living upon her discipline before and her examples when we are still young. But every time we part ways, I feel sorry and felt that, I should have let pass

I won't agree on long distance relationship especially when you are already married. What for that you got married. However, there are unavoidable circumstances that make it happen and we cannot control it. What I can advise is constant communication.

meeksilent, I wish you and your bf all the best and hope the distance doesn't become too much of a strain. My partner and I had to be apart for 3 years living in different countries due to work commitments. After 3 years I moved out to thailand to join up with my partner and we are still together after 30 years. During the 3 year distance, I travelled to Thailand 5 times, each time for a month and we were in constant contact weekly via the phone, with e-mails, and msn the rest of the time. Contact is important and as the saying goes... 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' Good luck

It is hard to have a long distance relationship. It always bothers that you can't meet him at this time. And the most scary part is that you could meet a person similar to him/her in attitude, personality, and etc. I don't like long distance relationships.

Hi Dear,
Trust me, being patient is the hardest thing to do, but the reward is bigger than anything else. I met my partner when I was 21 and now I'm 25. Now it's going to be 5 years with him, and that's how long we had to be apart from each other. He lives in Scotland and I live in Malaysia. Miles and miles from each other. We skype everyday, we talked on the phone, of course we never missed a day. We enjoyed every moment we spent communicating from different countries. We strongly believe, distance..short or long...it's never going to guarantee we don't break-up tomorrow. Let me ask you one thing, if you and your partner live under the same roof everyday, does that means you don't argue and disagree over things anymore? That's why I said no guarantee. The best thing is, don't only treasure your partner when they are psychically next to you... because if you do that, you should already know the answer. Just trust yourself and him, and give him some courage too because he must be actually feeling the same way as you do. Try to support each other emotionally even from far away instead of worrying if the relationship gonna work or not. By the way, my partner and I are finally getting married as we love each other so much, and we are sure we now want to be together that way..So, good luck to you. I hope you will have a good talk with him over this and that you will feel better soon.
